A denial of service (DoS) attempt is a deliberate and malicious act that aims to make a computer or network system unavailable by overwhelming it with traffic. This can be done using various techniques, such as flooding the system with requests or sending large amounts of data.
Types Of DoS Attacks
- Flood Attack: Overwhelming a network or computer system with traffic to make it unavailable.
- Hacker Script Crash: Using malicious code to crash a website or server by overwhelming it with requests.
- Botnet Attack: Using a network of compromised computers (bots) to send traffic to a target system.
